I haven’t updated this for a while, did some work on the shoulders today. First the left: I know there’s a debate over what colour these marks should be. I wet with some metallic silver (Humbrol #11) with some white (#34) added until the mix looked right to me. Then just some general...

To my knowledge, RS don't do any Fett pieces and/or commissions at all any more. Now, that's kind of irrelevant if you ordered when they were still doing commissions and is really poor of RS not to finish your order, nor to proactively contact you about a refund. As others have said, I would...

Yea, I’ve since come around to this! Initially, I wanted it just because it would look cool but I realised, while trooping I would never see it so there’s little point.

Thanks so much but I’ve since called it quits on the whole light and servo kit. NF very kindly sent me a replacement board that was pre-soldered for me but I ran into a whole new set of problems with the servo. Thanks again

Hilarious. It’s a towel. As if I’d be soldering on a white carpet

Yea, I couldn't find any completely smooth. I found some similar to yours but I had very good results with the leather repair paste. It's basically like using polyfilla except it won't crack with movement of the vinyl. I smeared a lot of that on to 'fill' the texture and sanded it back smooth...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I believe the collar should have a layer of grey damage too. You can see it in this screenshot and it's present on RafalFett 's templates:

Oh ok, thanks Yea, I have some sheets of 2mm abs and was thinking of backing the holes with that to reinforce it a little

I see…guess I’ll give glue a try then! Haha

I bought a set of metal knee darts from MF when I ordered my armour from him (I believe they’re MCR). All is well with the armour and the darts, I’m just wondering how you guys attach them to the knee armour? I know the pointy dart has an integrated bolt and I have nuts and washers that fit so...

Can you expand a little on this please? I’m currently painting the shoulders and have seen a few mentions of this yellow damage but I’m struggling to find references. Additionally - for the areas of misted grey damage, does that go over the silver areas or are those bits masked off first...

How much for shipping to the U.K? I’d take a set of the 244PD ones

Will do. Haven’t added any paint for a few days so will be well over the 72hr mark by the time the paint arrives

I found an online airbrush shop that sells it and have ordered a bottle. Thanks for the help!

Today I was running low on thinners so I picked up some white spirit. Up until today, I’d always used humbrol thinners. Well…it was like night and day. The paint flowed soooo much nicer with white spirit it wasn’t even close! As a comparison, here’s the silver on the collar, this was a...
